Five Starlink internet devices were found in illegal mining sites in the Amazon during raids by Brazil's environmental police on Tuesday. Starlink are small, easy-to-use satellite dishes made by Elon Musk's SpaceX that can provide high-speed, low-latency broadband internet in remote and rural locations. The equipment itself is not illegal, but can be used for illegal activities. Communications can be challenging in the Amazon, and the small satellite dishes aided in communications between illegal miners.
